Home Care Package – Level 2

Meet Clarissa
Clarissa is 80 and she lives on her own in a two-bedroom apartment with a courtyard garden. When we first met Clarissa, we sat with her and worked out what goals were most important for her. Clarissa has a great network of supportive neighbours who check in with her most days. This can be to see how she’s doing or to have a cup of tea. One of her favourite pastimes is playing Scrabble on her iPad.
Clarissa’s goals:
- to stay as independent as possible with mobilising
- to gain more control over her urge incontinence
Clarissa’s level 2 package services
Clarissa felt that the services that would best support her independence were:
- consultation and advice from a continence nurse advisor
- maintaining a safe and clean environment around her home
- help cleaning her unit
- transport to the local shops and home again so she can do her own shopping
Clarissa’s weekly care plan includes:
- buying continence products
- 2 hours domestic assistance (cleaning the kitchen, bathroom, washing bed linen)
- 2 hours with a support worker who drives Clarissa to the shops and helps bring her groceries inside once she’s home
- weekly review phone call with continence nurse advisor
Every few months Clarissa also has home and garden maintenance assistance. This involves things like changing lightbulbs, checking smoke alarms, or helping with heavy lifting.
Costs
Clarissa contributes the Basic Daily Fee ($10.66). Her level 2 Home Care Package means the government contributes $43.50 per day towards her services.
If Clarissa ever decides to change service providers, we won’t charge her an Exit Fee. This is just one of the ways we support consumer choice.
